    Linear Algebra on Khan Academy: Have you ever wondered what the difference is between speed and velocity? Ever try to visualize in four dimensions or six or seven? Linear algebra describes things in two dimensions, but many of the concepts can be extended into three, four or more. Linear algebra implies two dimensional reasoning, however, the concepts covered in linear algebra provide the basis for multi-dimensional representations of mathematical reasoning. Matrices, vectors, vector spaces, transformations, eigenvectors/values all help us to visualize and understand multi dimensional concepts. This is an advanced course normally taken by science or engineering majors after taking at least two semesters of calculus (although calculus really isn't a prereq) so don't confuse this with regular high school algebra.
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

      Hello, is there not a mistake done in the first place when you were subtracting 2 times row 1 from row 2? You said so but you subtracted row 2 from 2 times row 1 and it changed all the result. I try to understand linear algebra and everything coming up with it so I may be wrong but this is opposite to what I learned from MIT open courseware and what you said in this very video. Please clarify this point for me or I ill get lost!

    I think it makes a bit more sense to apply Elementary Row Operations upon the Matrix before figuring out the Column Space. You'll see already before if the system of equations collapses the vector to a line, plane or 3d hyper-plane. It also has then a nicer form to check for the results of the Rank-nullity theorem.

    I wouldn't say it's so much over-explanation rather than thinking out loud. At least for me, this helps, not because I don't know how to subtract (subtraction being one of many things he 'over-explains'), but because I can keep track of every assumption he's making.

    Curious, when you first proved that X3 & X4 were "free" variables, is that enough evidence to consider those vectors redundant and exclude them from the final linear independent set, or was that just coincidence?

    • @faisaladel5034
      @faisaladel5034 8 років тому

      It's even more than that ,seeing that in the reduced echelon form that the non zero rows are just 2 ,and the number of columns (variables) is 4 ,then you should figure out there is two additional variables or additional
      redundant vectors.

    • @vishalgoel6690
      @vishalgoel6690 6 років тому

      Orpheus Pericles No, because here you can see that he put 0 for x3 while proving that v4 is redundant and put 0 for x4 while proving that v3 is redundant. So, we can get rid of both v3 and v4. Also, the basis of a subspace need not span all the points in the graph because the span of the subspace can be limited. For example, here, the span is limited to a plane in R^3. What we can say is that the number of vectors in basis need not be greater than the order of dimension.

    I feel like he never missteps, but this was definitely the harder way to find the column space...why not just out it in a matrix and get the leading ones? Maybe that's what you did, but it definitely seemed more consuming. I had to stop watching the video before I got confused...

    • @OmegaCraftable

      There wasn't a clear goal that he was trying to get to. He wasn't doing all these steps just to get to the final goal of the linearly independent set of vectors spanning the column space of A. You need to interpret this video as being more of a exploration in the the relationships between a matrix, it's null space and it's column space, rather than an explicit problem solving exercise.

    1:34 "We don't know that these are linearly independent" ... yes we do, there are 4 vectors in R3, one of them will be redundant, therefore those vectors are linearly dependent. Also, after you row reduced, you just needed to see which columns had a pivot point then go back to the original matrix and take those columns and they are the basis vectors for Col(A). ... eg. there was a pivot position in the columns for x1 and x2, the basis vectors were eventually determined to be column 1 and column 2 of the original matrix. Make sure you understand what is going on in the video though, it's really important that you do.
